Jacob Longton posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Tuesday. He struck out six batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Longton and Plattsmouth will face off against Malcolm at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Blue Devils will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 34 places lower in Nebraska), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Longton? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
